The internet has accelerated the exchange of new ideas, producing a blur of cause and effect that can be almost impossible to follow.

Sometimes, it seems that what stands out most isn't a new idea per se, but the manner of its delivery, the intensity of its focus. SULK are steeped in the past, for sure, but what catches our attention is their ability to craft melodies which escape any one era.
